I've been running a set of Yokohama S.drives 225/40/18 and I love them. Highly recommend them for our cars. It is the first tire that I have not needed to replace due to potholes, punctures, bad alignment, etc. I have had issues with every other brand(Pirelli, Continental, Nitto) but these Yokohamas are by far the best overall. I have yet to put air in them since I've bought them. They run around $148 at The Tirerack, that's where I got them.

The Khumos are a grrat bargain, but they suck in the rain and the tread life if usually the shortest of all the all-season tires. But, with tires, you generally get what you pay for. They have great dry response, but loose grip on the edge.
Dunlop SPs are sporty tires. They are good in the dry, provide stability at the edge, and offer enough traction in the rain to get to work, but they aren't usually the greatest in heavy rain or snow. Check the TireRack comparisons, you'll likely find another tire that outperforms the Dunlop SP for a lesser price.
So, out of the tires you picked, get the ContiExtremeContacts DWS(?) and tell me how you like them. If you don't like them, I'm going back to Yokohama.
And for the record, if you want all out performance, go with a Bridgestone that fits your driving needs. They are really the top performing tire, with Michelin a close second, but these tires are usually considerably more expensive.
